Synthesis Sunday - Transformation Into Supplemental Sunday

I spend a bit of time every day thinking about what I want to write on this blog and what to send out into the universe. It's always an interesting experience to sit down and write something. Sometimes what I write makes it to this blog, but often, I go through several iterations of topics, paragraphs, visuals, and organization before I have something that I settle on.

These Sunday posts are often the most challenging for me, especially with the current title, Synthesis Sunday. At first, the title was meant to spur me into reading music therapy things - texts and articles. It worked for a bit, but now I am not really into reading about music therapy (the urge comes and goes - right now, it's gone!). I've had other Sunday themes - Song Synthesis Sunday and Song Switch Sunday - as well as this one, but I think I'm in the need for another theme for these Sunday posts.

Here are my rules - There must be alliteration! Whatever I do, I think post themes need alliteration. That's why TME days are on Tuesdays and Favorite Things are on Fridays. It's just the way I am. Alliteration organizes my thoughts. Silly, hunh? Well, it's just me.

Next rule - I have to be interested in what I'm doing. There is nothing worse than feeling stuck in a situation that you cannot get out of. That's why I have to freedom to change things here on my blog and on my website. I've been stuck doing things (projects, theses, proposals, sessions, ah, the list could go on and on), and I do not like being in a situation where I cannot be creative! Therefore, I get to change things as often as I want here. I have full control and the ability to make things interesting to me.

So, I am now in a place where it is time to shake things up a bit.

Words - song, staccato, slurp, Snickers (ooh, I am already in the mood for chocolate at 5 am, that does not bode well for the day), symbol, supplemental (I like that one for now!! I've got it!)

Next week will be Supplemental Sunday. "What is that?" you may ask? One of my most recent interns stated that her educational program called visual aids "supplementals." For the near future, I will post something that I've made to enhance my music therapy sessions or TMEs on these Sunday mornings.

I started a new one yesterday during Creativity Camp! It will be ready for pictures by next Sunday! To start us off, though, here is a picture of a former supplemental/visual aid that's been on this blog before...

Dear AMTA

Dear American Music Therapy Association: I am debating long and hard about remaining in this relationship. I have been in this relationship since college, and this is not a decision that I am taking lightly or without great cost.  I am not happy with what you are bringing to this relationship. Now, I have been a selfish partner over the past several years - mainly because I am not feeling like we share a common mission anymore. It is easy for me to place the blame on you, but I know that this is not all on me. I have tried to be invested in communication and support and understanding, but everyone comes to a time where enough is enough. I am trying very hard to decide if the benefits that you provide to me are worth the feelings that I have about where I think you and I are going. I am not sure that our destination is the same anymore, and this makes me sad. To be completely honest, I am only in this relationship these days for the music therapy interns. I don't think that is a hea...

Songwriting Sunday: Repetition

Image
One of the things that I find to be helpful with my client population (children, adolescents, and young adults with dual diagnoses) is repetition of phrases, lyrics, and music. As a result of 30+ years of working with this population in various iterations, I have found that my clients respond the most to songs with three repeated phrases to prime their responses with a different phrase to communicate the important part of the experience. DISCLAIMER: This is not a definite way to write music for clinical interactions. This is what seems to work well with my particular group of human beings. Don't go to your supervisors and tell them that I told you that this is the ONLY way to write music - It is NOT! You have to find what works for your clients and for their clinical goals. Since my clients respond well to this type of song, I tend to write songs in this format more than any other. What I have found is that my clients remember these songs more than the ones that I do in different f...

Being An Internship Director: On Hiatus

Image
It has been long enough since I have had an intern that I am seriously feeling like I have little to say on the subject. At the same time, I am currently writing Chapter 5 of my general internship handbook, so I am able to write about being an intern and what types of things to think about during this important time in our professional development. It is a strange place to be in, and it is one that is a bit challenging for me. Right now, I have had three vacant internship positions since the beginning of the calendar year. I will have a vacant position next month and that will be an entire year of rejected offers. In the past nine months, I have offered positions to three applicants who have declined. It is interesting how people complain that there aren't enough internship programs, but programs like mine are empty. I guess there aren't enough internship programs that pay large stipends (which mine cannot) out there. I get it. It is interesting to me how we have moved from an ...
